for agreements, contracts and grants to the County Manager in amounts up to $250,000 for

approached approval deadlines. With the Board of Commissioners unavailable,. the Manager,
after consulting with the County Attorney, approved and signed the grant agreement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The full amount of the JAG is $15,122. Of this amount, $6,048 is to be
allocated to Orange County. The remainder,- $9,074, will be allocated to the Town of Chapel
Hill.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board ratify the Manager's
approval of the JAG.
